Also, rescue mission Zack & Vera. Next day we started from Atherton Mountainbike Park parking entrance, which is Rifle Range Road passing mountain bike trails 1 to 9, all the way up to a clearing called ‘fourways’. If you turn left you continue Rifle Range Road to top of Herberton range. If you turn right (and then further down turn left) you go to mount Wallum where they got stuck in a washout boghole. Later that week we revisited and tried to connect to fourways from Herberton range entrance but it was wet and slippery.

We had to leave behind a CRF125F as the chain got bunched up behind the front sprocket. Ran out of daylight and trail disappeared 2kms from base. 3 meter drop into creek bed, slide bikes under 1 meter gap of fallen gum tree, and cross 1 meter deep water hole with split rock climb. Respect. Also best 2nd attempt hill climb ever.

Anthony joined us to retrieve bike. Cut a short 100m trail to connect to dead end trail that ended near the creek bed. Did last week’s run in reverse. Got stuck on treeroot step-up halfway on steep hill, as well as rolled back on soft black soil in dense shrubbery where trail took unexpected left hand uphill turn.

Speewah. Same trail as last week. Good practice. Gnarly long climb going left around a tree at the top. Made it almost to the top. Then second gnarly bit with drop into creek bed and then steep rocky climb. Met up with these guys who joined. Got stuck in same spots as last week.
